  • Jack the Ripper: the Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society
    Jack the Ripper: The Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society Michael Plater Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 18 July 2018 Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines late nineteenth-century public and media representations of the infamous “Jack the Ripper” murders of 1888. Focusing on two of the most popular theories of the day – Jack as exotic “alien” foreigner and Jack as divided British “gentleman” – it contends that these representations drew upon a series of emergent social and cultural anxieties in relation to notions of the “self” and the “other.” Examining the widespread contention that “no Englishman” could have committed the crimes, it explores late-Victorian conceptions of Englishness and documents the way in which the Ripper crimes represented a threat to these dominant notions of British identity and masculinity. In doing so, it argues that late-Victorian fears of the external, foreign “other” ultimately masked deeper anxieties relating to the hidden, unconscious, instinctual self and the “other within.” Moreover, it reveals how these psychological concerns were connected to emergent social anxieties regarding degeneration, atavism and the “beast in man.” As such, it evaluates the wider psychological and sociological impact of the case, arguing that the crimes revealed the deep sense of fracture, duality and instability that lay beneath the surface of late-Victorian English life, undermining and challenging dominant notions of progress, civilisation and social advancement. Situating the Ripper narrative within a broader framework of late-nineteenth century cultural uncertainty and crisis, it therefore argues that the crimes (and, more specifically, populist perceptions of these crimes) represented a key defining moment in British history, serving to condense and consolidate a whole series of late-Victorian fears in relation to selfhood and identity.

  • Planning Matrix for New Spiritual Home
    Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon Planning Matrix for New Spiritual Home March 20, 2012 Edited July 1, 2012 for RFP for Architects This planning matrix is a compilation of our congregation’s dreams and needs. Workgroups comprising of about 50 members of the congregation began meeting in January 2012 to brainstorm and prioritize what we wanted in our new home. Our goal from the start has been to be inclusive, and we have incorporated suggestions from many sources: online design forums, a congregation Visioning Workshop in November, 2011, and many conversations and emails. Our intention was to dream big without limits and collect all ideas for consideration. In order to determine project feasibility, we used this matrix during our preplanning workshops in March, 2012 with our consulting architect during the Planning Grant Phase of our New Home Project. We learned then that we cannot do it all at this time. We will continue to define our space needs through research, visits to other spiritual homes, and ultimately, collaboration with our architect. Working together, we look forward to developing a master plan to phase in components as we grow. We intend for this matrix to provide a foundation when working with our architect on the programming for our future home.

He is the One: The Matrix Trilogy's Postmodern Movie Messiah Abstract Many films have used Christ figures to enrich their stories. In The Matrix trilogy, however, the Christ figure motif goes beyond superficial plot enhancements and forms the fundamental core of the three-part story. Neo's messianic growth (in self-awareness and power) and his eventual bringing of peace and salvation to humanity form the essential plot of the trilogy. Without the messianic imagery, there could still be a story about the human struggle in the Matrix, of course, but it would be a radically different story than that presented on the screen. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol9/iss2/7 Stucky: He is the One Introduction The Matrix1 was a firepower-fueled film that spin-kicked filmmaking and popular culture.

  • A Spatial History of English Novels 1680-1770
    A Spatial History of English Novels 1680-1770 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mary Jo Crone-Romanovski, M. A. English The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Roxann Wheeler, Advisor Frank Donoghue David Brewer Copyright by Mary Jo Crone-Romanovski 2010 Abstract This dissertation provides a spatial history of English novels in the period 1680- 1770. Demonstrating that space is a dynamic source of narrative, I argue that spaces are crucial to the development of new types of novels. Re-organizing novel history according to space allows me to consider eighteenth-century novel types as standalone genres rather than progressive steps toward the formation of the novel as one single, coherent genre. Thus, a spatial history of novels differs from conventional literary histories which situate major novels and authors within a linear model of chronological development and that view eighteenth-century novels as preliminary formal experiments that eventually contribute to the emergence of the nineteenth-century realist novel. Space can register in novels in a number of ways, including geographical distance, topographical location, descriptors of movement, or architectural layout. My study considers, in particular, the spaces that constitute a character‟s immediate physical environment. Each chapter examines a key space as central to a type of novel that flourished during the eighteenth century: gardens in amatory and pious novels, 1680- 1730; staircases, hallways, and closets in the domestic interior in courtship novels of the 1740s; urban homes in mid-century problem marriage novels; and sickrooms in women‟s sentimental novels of the 1750s and 1760s.

  • Heuristic Futures: Reading the Digital Humanities Through Science Fiction
    Heuristic Futures: Reading the Digital Humanities through Science Fiction A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences by Joseph William Dargue 2015 B.A. (Hons.), Lancaster University, 2006 M.A., Royal Holloway, University of London, 2008 Committee Chair: Laura Micciche, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation attempts to highlight the cultural relationship between the digital humanities and science fiction as fields of inquiry both engaged in the development of humanistic perspectives in increasingly global digital contexts. Through analysis of four American science fiction novels, the work is concerned with locating the genre’s pedagogical value as a media form that helps us adapt to the digital present and orient us toward a digital future. Each novel presents a different facet of digital humanities practices and/or discourses that, I argue, effectively re-evaluate the humanities (particularly traditional literary studies and pedagogy) as a set of hybrid disciplines that leverage digital technologies and the sciences. In Pat Cadigan’s Synners (1993), I explore issues of production, consumption, and collaboration, as well as the nature of embodied subjectivity, in a reality codified by the virtual. The chapters on Richard Powers’ Galatea 2.2 (1995) and Vernor Vinge’s Rainbows End (2006) are concerned with the passing of traditional humanities practices and the evolution of the institutions they are predicated on (such as the library and the composition classroom) in the wake of the digital turn.
